Inspired by a photograph taken during a visit to the island of Iona, Scotland, this window design is reminiscent of windows found in churches and cathedrals all over the world. This vignette provides an evocative pattern reminiscent of the holiest of Christian nights and the wonder of nature found in the lines of the setting sun and the three stars shining above.

The pattern explores two ways to finish the white part of the heart pattern. It includes beads, half stitches or any other way you'd like to fill the white section of this blooming heart! The pattern also suggests two ways to finish the project once the cross stitching is completed: as a quilt block or as an ornament. The choice is yours, or you can make more than one, and finish each as your heart desires!
